Ethiopian Language Support for the Babel Package

This is a collection of fonts and TeX macros that
enable you to typeset the characters of the languages
of Ethiopia. You can download the package in version 0.7
here. Version 0.7 is now compatible with the Omega typesetting
system. We are using the GNU GPL as our license now.

occurs when a _ or a ^ is followed by a character with which it forms a
valid shorthand.

State: Fixed in version 0.3.

Ethiopian characters are not supported in math formulas. Only
ordinary TeX fonts are used.
Patch: Temporarily switch to text mode by means of a \hbox.
